Warning: Invalid templates based on task dates

Connect Online uses the template that's saved in the employee record as the template the employee will use to enter time worked for tasks and activities. When a task is deleted from Timekeeping that a template is using, you may receive the warning message: Invalid templates based on task dates. 

Warning message

The warning message lets you know about templates that are assigned to an active position that include an inactive task. An inactive task may have a begin date in the future, an end date in the past, or the template includes a task that was deleted from the Task table. Connect Online only supports templates with active tasks.

Choose an option. 

  • Yes will remove the template with the inactive task from active positions that use the template.

  • No will not delete the template, but you will need to replace the inactive task with an active task on each position that uses the template before Connect Online can use it.   

 

 

 

Removing an inactive task from a template for an employee 

1. Open Connect Timekeeping Employees Modify Existing Employees. 

2. Click to select the Positions tab Templates tab. 

3. Click to select a task from the employee position template.

Now, you can replace the inactive tasks with an active task or you can use the template without replacing the task.
